Kasha varnishkes

Kasha varnishkas

Kashe varnishkes (sometimes Americanized as kasha varnishkas) is a traditional dish of the American-Jewish Ashkenazi community. It combines kasha (buckwheat groats) with noodles, typically bow-tie shape lokshen egg noodles.

Buckwheat groats (gretshkes/greytshkelach or retshkes/reytshkelach in Yiddish) are prepared separately from, and then fried together with, lokshen and tsvibelach (onions) in schmaltz (poultry fat). Sometimes briye (chicken or beef stock) is used in the preparation.^[1]

Origins[]

Kasha varnishkes are part of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. The Ashkenazi Jewish communities of Eastern Europe fled Europe due to rising antisemitism and pogroms and sought refuge in the United States and other countries, and brought with them food of their tradition including kasha varnishkes to America and it is widely popular in the American Jewish cuisine and community.^[1] This dish was enhanced by emigrating Jews in the Ashkenazic manner.^[2] A recipe from 1925 shows kashe-filled dumplings, rather than the simpler kashe with farfalle.^[3] This 1925 recipe is indicative of the dish’s origins.^{[citation needed]}
